Manchester United's apparent wage bill has emerged after the club announced a 'transformational plan' to improve finances.
On the pitch, United have endured a horrible season as they currently sit 15th in the Premier League table, a huge 34 points behind leaders and arch-rivals Liverpool.
Earlier in the season, the club decided to part ways with Erik ten Hag and hire Ruben Amorim in a bid to reignite the campaign.
However, that has not worked so far as the Portuguese has found it tough to implement his playing style.

Meanwhile, off-the-pitch issues are also mounting for the Red Devils.
British billionaire and INEOS boss Sir Jim Ratcliffe and his team have angered fans on multiple occasions after making some controversial calls.
For example, huge increases in ticket prices, the cutting of ambassadorial salaries and charity funding as well as ending a long-standing £2.16 million arrangement with legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson are some of the decisions taken.
On Monday, the club released a statement confirming "additional measures to improve the club’s financial sustainability and enhance operational efficiency".
United say the decision has been taken in a bid to end five consecutive years of losses and return to profit, while putting all Red Devils teams "in the strongest position to win".
On the back of the latest development, the club's wage bill for their superstar players have emerged.
It has to be said that the wage figures have been published by Capology and they are only estimated figures.
According to the report, United's total weekly payroll stands at £3,296,500 and the total annual payroll is £171,418,000.
In terms of averages, the Red Devils have an average weekly salary of £113,672 and an average annual salary of £5,910,966.
It has been claimed that Brazilian midfielder Casemiro is the highest-paid player at the club, taking home a reported weekly wage of £350,000.
Captain Bruno Fernandes is next with £300,000, followed by Mason Mount, who earns £250,000.
